Real Madrid are set to face Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal on Wednesday at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
The highly anticipated encounter marks Real Madrid’s debut in this edition of the Club World Cup, but the uncertainty surrounding Mbappé’s condition could affect Carlo Ancelotti’s plans heading into the match.
With no official update on his recovery timeline yet, a late decision is expected to be made regarding the 25-year-old’s inclusion in the matchday squad.
